Sentosa is located south of Singapore's main island, separated from the city by a narrow strait. It can be accessed via the Sentosa Express from VivoCity, by cable car, or by walking along the boardwalk, making it a popular holiday destination for both locals and visitors. The island offers a wide range of activities: thrill-seekers can ride roller coasters at Universal Studios Singapore, zoom down mountain trails on the luge, or experience "skydiving" in the indoor wind tunnel near Siloso Beach. Families with children will enjoy the upgraded S.E.A. Aquarium, while photography enthusiasts can snap fun photos with optical illusions at the Trick Eye Museum.
The southwest side of the island connects three beaches with distinct styles: Siloso is lively, with concentrated water activities, bars, and restaurants; Palawan has a children's play area, making it family-friendly; Tanjong is quiet, perfect for lying down and watching the sunset. Along the beach, the WWII-era Fort Siloso is preserved, where you can learn about the island's history. After dark, the "Wings of Time" show over the sea concludes with water screens, lights, and fireworks, making it worth staying until nightfall. Round-trip loop buses and beach shuttles connect the attractions on the island, with the main Tours concentrated around Resorts World and the beaches. Planning a full day, from the theme parks to the sunset beaches, is just right.

Show More ReviewsThere are so many attractions on the island, from family-friendly thrills to indoor and outdoor activities, catering to all budgets. I highly recommend Universal Studios, located at the southernmost tip of mainland Asia; don't miss the chance to apply for a tourist pass. Transportation is convenient, and if possible, consider staying on the island for 2-3 days.
